How come it's outpacing the Last if total money earned so far is 3 times less than the Last. Or do they mean the Last earned 115.1% less than Boruto the movie in the first 3 days?

Like how HXH movies can never reach Naruto box office ?

Yeah.. that's what they mean.

See? When you add more sasuke you sell more tickets :Sparks:

Jk, but on a serious note, this was labeled kishi's last work so many would flock to see plus the movie looks amazing just by the fight scenes alone :bdpf:

 

[IndraGripen]

Hope Kishi will invest the money for better animations of the new Naruto project

They mean in terms of popularity, the time it took Boruto the movie to gross that much is more than the amount that it took the last to gross that much in the same elapse of time.

 

[BSK]

Sasuke pretty much made this movie.

 

[The Work]

Oh they made this much money?

Naruto series isn't going to be over anytime soon then.

 

[ROHAN]

Just some evidence that Kishi is gonna continue the series and not stop at this movie.

Did you think I was downplaying Naruto? I just said it sucks that the movie doesn't reach OP's box office which I hope would happen.

 

[BenjerminGaye]

5 mil? That's it? Umm no.

 

[ChicagoJhawk]

Kishi rolling in stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks

 

[7th Biggest OP Fan]

Yeah that's not much. One Piece film Z earned 1,372,050,000 yen opening weekend, more than 2 times that amount.

If you are basing Kishi is going to continue the series on such low numbers, then you are crazy.
